i dont know a good title for this thread. :(

but what is a movie or song that reminds you of a certain period of your life? like when i listen to "Born in the USA" CD, i think about going down to Cedar Point because we always listen to that going down there. or when im eatting sunflower seeds, i think about watching National Treasure because during the summer when ever i watched the movie, i always ate sunflower seeds. or when i listen to "Jump" or "tubthumping" i think of John Ritter because i was obsessed with him when i liked those songs.

what is something that does that to you?

The song "How Bizarre" by OMC? Whoever it was. It was big when I was in HS.

A song called "So Sexy" reminds of Summer 2004 for some reason.

Oh, I have tons of songs that remind me of special memories. In fact, there they are too many and too tedious to list every single one of them.

How many of you actually play those special songs ON that special time, if you create little mental anniversaries? Or, play them around those special days (meaning, not just one particular day)? I have been doing that these past days because I am having reminiscing and fond memories of the month of April. :biglove:

'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go' by Wham! reminds me of the third grade. I can remember sitting in the cafeteria and someone mentioning it. I got all excited because I knew all the lyrics. It's just really fun.

"Gone" by Kelly Clarkson reminds me of Disney World, cause I listened to it obsessively there.

"Inside Your Heaven" by Carrie Underwood reminds me of the AI4 tour and the AI4 finale.

A few Britney Spears songs actually remind me of when I was like 7 cause I liked her back then puke:

Oh wow, I have a whole lot of songs. Well, the songs "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana will ALWAYS remind me of my pre-teen years because they were the first bands I really started liking.

"Sweet Dreams" by Marilyn Manson reminds me of 8th grade because some kid signed my yearbook with those lyrics (and I used to play it a lot on my Walkman).

Alot of songs from Sublime, The Doors, and Pink Floyd remind me of the summers in 9th and 10th grade when I actually HAD a life and went out with friends or to the beach for shows. Those were good times. Plus, Sublime is very summery music. Also, that was when I was CRAZILY obsessed with the Beatles, so songs from them (especially from the White Album) remind me of hanging out with my friend Janene and we'd watch their movies and dance around to their music.

The Thong Song by Sisqo (sp?) reminds me of my 11th grade junior trip to Washington, DC because that was a really popular song at that time and everyone used to sing it.

"Get Right Back to Where We Started From" by Maxine Nightingale (it's a song from the 70s) will always remind me of my best friend Bethany because we used to blast it in the car and make up stupid dances to it (and have an inside joke for that song too, which makes it more funny...well, to us anyway :p )

And, finally, a lot of songs by 50 Cent remind me of hanging out with my friends, Tiff and Rose. Just the whole party atmosphere, I guess.

Unfortunately, the "Thong Song" was big my senior year in high school. So, hearing it takes me back. I think it's an awful song though.

Here there are these trees that gives off this sweet smell in the summer time. And I seem to only smell it in the summer time when I'm around a lot of trees in the late evening. And that sweet smell takes me back to when I was little because I grew up around lots and lots of trees. Strange I know lol

Britney Spears songs remind me of being in the hospital because when I had an operation she and NSYNC were on almost every channel the hospital received. :lol:

Whenever I smell lilac blossoms, it reminds me of when I was still a kid and still living in my childhood home. We had a few lilac bushes in our yard, and our yard always smelled so nice when they came into blossom. I adore lilacs. :biglove:

The song "How Come" by D12 and Eminem reminds me of my mom walking out when I was 14.

My mother passed away in 1979; my father died in 1983. Watching reruns of TV shows that we watched in the 1950s as a family (back in those days, most homes only had one set) makes me feel closer to them.

Rappers delight by Sugarhill Gang always reminds me of high school because that song was AWESOME. This new sound, this thing called "rap" was great.

Also, whenever I hear that song by Seal "Crazy" it always reminds me of the last family trip my ENTIRE family took to Baja California and we had an awesome time. Shortly thereafter, my brother was diagnosed with MS, my father had to run his business alone and so there would be no more family trips. :(

The Caprenters song "Superstar" reminds me of when I was five and my ssiter was a little baby - and she wanted to hear that song over and over because she took the chorus literally! :lol:

Any Carpenters song will remind me of my childhood in the early seventies. :)

Just today, I went for a walk in the nearby town of Port Colborne ( also on the Welland Canal ), and passed by an old hut that used to be a fast food place when i was a kid...its all boarded up now ( Since the orig owner died about 8 yrs ago ) and theres a sign saying that a new Pizza chainstore will be soon built on that sight ( and im sure the little shack is due for the wrecking ball ). I looked at the forelorn little building and thought back to summer days when my parents would bring me and my brother there for a shrimp and fries dinner ( A real treat since we ate oatmeal 3 nights a week )and a rather thick shake...it wasnt the best food in the world, but, it was special to me. As I looked at the soon-to-be-gone part of my childhood, I secretly wished i could buy the place and reopen it...but; its the lost childhood i yearn for, not the place itself.
